AMONGST the many gadgets out this fall, we've compiled a list of the latest must-have products while we wait to see what other innovative high-tech products September will bring during the IFA (consumer electronics and home appliances) tradeshow in Berlin and the much-anticipated Apple and Microsoft announcements.
